Why?Presidential-calibre burgers.

The perfect pitstop lunch during the working week, Kua 'Aina brings all the joy of Hawaiian-inspired burgers to a street just off Carnaby. Burger junkies will see why Obama is a fan of the North Shore outpost when he's at home, with half-pound beef patties served up with avocado (the president's pick) and pineapple, and famous sandwiches such as the teriyaki chicken breast. Service is a little clunky at times, particularly during lunch hour, but during quieter times, Kua 'Aina captures the chilled-out spirit of Hawaii with ceiling fans whirling lazily above and surfboards affixed to walls.
